Can't think of any off the top of my head. Exchange 2003 with Office 2007 is working very well. I can't imagine making the decision to move all our sensitive data to a hosted service until there is a good body of evidence that a particular host can keep that data safe.

A couple of months ago, I realized my local backup was not working and my 500 Gb Transaction disk subsystem had 490 Gb of Transaction logs. Within a half hour I had backup reconfigured and ran a backup. Checked the logs after backup and had 1.15 Gb. Saved!

I am in the process of trying to retire an old Exchange 2000 server that a previous lazy sysadmin just left instead of decommissioning it when he built the Exchange 2003 server we are using now. I thought I had followed all of the "removing the first exchange server in a site" guidelines but I guess I missed something. Took the server offline to see what would happen (Vs. just uninstalling exchange) and all of the outlook clients locked up. I guess I left some stray public folders or something...

I had transaction log hell here as well; Backup Exec never flushed the logs, so I ended up with 190GB-plus of log files; frankly, I don't usually have Exchange hell, I have Backup Exec hell which unless carefully watched can rapidly become Exchange hell.

I inherited an Exchange Enterprise Server with 2 storage groups for 250 users. The problem was with large amounts of sending and deleting and grr the databases had ballooned and I didn't have enough space to do an offline compaction anywhere. Had 25GB Free on C: and ran out on a 216GB array for mailstores. Sad part was I could have reclaimed over 80GB of slack space on a compaction.

A long weekend of mailstore juggling later I managed to get it sorted and now I am finally on a SAN with smaller mailstores.
